The patch is OK, but its subject is wrong.

The patch above isn't fixing any syntax errors, but rather minor cleanup.
The subject should have been "Remove duplicate 'to' in the
flush_dcache_page() comment".

I think that this kind of cleanup patches (typofixes) are best done
as part of **actual** work on the code in question (for example
refactoring or fixing build errors).

Thanks.
